NHL Draft: Dew Shore Profile

“Drew is a hard-working player who plays with a lot of drive and energy. He is big and strong and plays a tough and physical game in the corners and along the wall. He finishes his checks with determination. He has good hands, handles the puck well and makes a firm and accurate pass. He creates offense from his hard work and his never giving up on the puck. He battles hard and is tough to play against. He has very good anticipation of the play and puck flow.”
- Gary Eggleston, NHL Central Scouting

"His creativity with the puck makes him very dangerous, as he makes plays so quickly. Defensively he is very aggressive and supports defense low in the zone. He finishes his checks and doesn’t take himself from the play with trying to destroy guys with hits, in his own end."
- International Scouting Services 2009 Draft Guide

"Has a terrific combination of size and skating ability and all the physical tools you could ever want, but never actually produces anything on the scoresheet. Goes to sleep for long stretches where he becomes invisible. Shows tantalizing glimpses of his speed and occasionally throws a big hit. Has soft hands, a hard shot and can handle the puck, but lacks creativity, drive and offensive instincts."
